Black Nite Crash Unveil New Single/Video "Sugarwave"


Seattle garage pop/psych band Black Nite Crash have unveiled the video for their brand new single "Sugarwave".

The song "a driving, melodic take on indie-rock influenced post-punk," is taken from the EP 'Washed in the Sound with Black Nite Crash', set to be released on October 14th. Pre-order your copy here.

“The lyrics started out as scenes from a dream wherein my husband pulled some rather out-of-character capers,” Claire Tucker explains. “It got me thinking about dreams he’s told me about, where I did strange or terrible things, and what that might mean about our perception of each other — and even whether there was some hidden truth to the dreams. The song eventually developed into an impression of the gap between people’s true internal selves and how everyone else perceives us, and the attempt to bridge that gap, impossible as it may be. But the desire to be known can be at odds with the allure of likes and compliments and approvals and little dopamine hits — and that’s the Sugarwave.”

"The energy of the song is undeniable - we can't keep still while playing it. We haven't done anything quite like it in a while. It's another piece on the new record that feels, for us, like a bit of a departure from the last few albums. We've been trying to let the songs just come and guide us rather than trying to force things to sound like some preconceived notion of what the band should sound like".

Dream Dali Air Music Video For "Wicked Sunday"


Brisbane dark wave/psych band Dream Dali have aired the video for their latest single "Wicked Sunday".

The song is part of our current playlist and came out last month (August 5). Grab it here.

This track further bolsters Dream Dali's mission to immerse listeners in their conceptual multi-sensory surrealist world of cinematic alt-dance-rock. 'Wicked Sunday' is abuzz with crunchy synths, a drama-filled dance-rock drum beat, and satisfying electric guitar atmospheres that are unashamedly 80s. The icing on the top of this cosmic cake is the song's evocative lyrics, delivered in lead singer Aldous Emerson's signature dreamy style.

Alluring and hypnotic, this is a superbly catchy tune that will have listeners dancing and shaking it all off. It's a dance-inducing triumph over heavy feelings and disappointment, as Emerson explains:

"Wicked Sunday is written about those times when you wake to a huge weight of the day. Exploring depression and trying to build yourself back up when you feel people have let you down."

Floral Image Unleash New Single "El Topo"


Norwich, UK psych-indie-electronica-rock five-piece Floral Image have unleashed their new single "El Topo".

The song b/w  "Subpoena", is out now through Catch 21 Records. With their 3rd single, Floral Image have revealed their most explorative recording yet. El Topo, named after Alejandro Jodorowsky’s cult cinema classic, aims to place you on an epic audial journey through an imagined technicolour landscape that Jodorowsky himself would be proud of producing. Ever mutating, El Topo takes you higher with its pounding Psych-Rock whilst also bringing you back down to earth with passages of awe inspiring ambient soundscapes. 
 
A thumping crowd favourite at their already raucous live shows, El Topo stretches across your ears like a meandering psychedelic river. The single is accompanied by a live session video where you see the band demonstrating their tasteful knack of incorporating both the heavy and the intriguingly mysterious for their Jodorowsky inspired stomper.

The Vacant Lots Drop New Single/Video "Consolation Prize"


NYC  electro post-punk duo The Vacant Lots (aka Jared Artaud and Brian MacFadyen) have dropped the video for their new single "Consolation Prize".

The song is taken from their forthcoming fourth album 'Closure', which will be out on September 30th on Fuzz Club Records. Pre-order your copy here.

Artaud says of the track’s inspirations, “In the beginning of any relationship, you can really lose yourself in another person. There’s something inherently infinite, but also terribly fleeting about love. This duality of will it last forever or will it last for now. You start off reaching for the stars and end up thinking life is your consolation prize. Then there is the music, which is like slow dancing on Benzos. Music for loners and lovers.”

McFadyen continues, saying of the track, “Consolation Prize opens with a swirl of modulated drones from an Arp Solus. This free-form soundscape is anchored with an arpeggiated bassline from the Arp 2600, minimal drum beat and rhythm guitar. The track builds towards the end with the final chorus featuring some additional parts from a Wurlitzer 200 and Juno 60.”

Gloin Announce Debut LP 'We Found This', Stream "Shoot to Kill"


Toronto noise rock/psych four-piece Gloin have announced the release of their debut full-length album 'We Found This'.

The 10-track album was recorded with Dylan Frankland of Tallies and will be out on October 21st, 2022 via boutique Montreal label Mothland. Pre-order your copy here.

They offer a first glimpse of the loud and furious album on August 30th when they drop “Shoot to Kill” (accompanied by a music video), a discotheque-friendly post-punkish scorcher about breaking the monotonous working life cycle.

Drawing inspiration from Sonic Youth’s nonchalant verve and Lightning Bolt’s aggressive sonic constructs, Gloin’s new opus, We Found This, is flush with patented pop melodies and beautifully noisy arrangements, supported by a distorted rhythm section that offers plenty of urgency, but also soothing grooves. Lyrically, the long-player is as subversive as it is inspiring, challenging the routine, embracing the occult, celebrating individuality.

For fans of Sonic Youth, Pixies and Battles. 

Check out the album's tracklist and watch the video for “Shoot to Kill”, below.


We Found This
Tracklisting:
1. Pitchfork
2. FZero
3. Winter Abroad

Dream Dali Reveal New Single "Wicked Sunday"


Brisbane dark wave/psych band Dream Dali have revealed their new single "Wicked Sunday".

Known for their uniquely artistic live performances, Dream Dali's music is paired with white lighting, set to a backdrop of visuals from Dada films and black and white surrealist imagery from the 1930s, creating a truly mesmerising musical experience.

This new track further bolsters Dream Dali's mission to immerse listeners in their conceptual multi-sensory surrealist world of cinematic alt-dance-rock. 'Wicked Sunday' is abuzz with crunchy synths, a drama-filled dance-rock drum beat, and satisfying electric guitar atmospheres that are unashamedly 80s.

New Age Healers Unleash New Single "Setting Sun"


Seattle indie rock/alt/shoegaze/psych band New Age Healers have unleashed their new single "Setting Sun".

This is the third single from their forthcoming album 'Demolition Stories' (out August of 2022). Grab it here.

Using the writing style of Elmore Leonard, Louis L’Amour, etc. as a device to create a short narrative inspired by the political insanity of the past 6-years, the band channels musical touchstones like Slint, Ride, DIIV, and Real Estate, to create a sonic landscape in which sounds express emotions when/where words cannot.

`I struggled with the words “setting” and “sun,” songwriter Owen Murphy says. “For a while it was “settling” and “son” as the hopelessness of politics had infused themselves into our music. Watching the offspring of a particular leader act either like a coked up lunatic, or a zombie, while also watching half the voting populace eat it up, really shook me. This song, it’s sound, it’s story, it’s delivery, are inspired by all of that under an umbrella of harmonic noise, reverb, distortion, and groove.”

Red Telephone Unleash New Single "All I Really Want"


Cardiff indie rock/psych band Red Telephone have unleashed their new single "All I Really Want".

This is the final track of a trio of apoco-literature inspired releases from theband’s upcoming debut album which combines the influence of dark seventies, synth-led soundscapes with the arresting, driving rhythms of eighties synth-pop. Get it here.

Of the song, singer Declan says, 'All I Really Want' deals with the desire and struggle to return to a previous state of mind after a mental breakdown. Sound wise, the aim was to combine dark and filmic synth-led soundscapes in the vein of 'Drive' and 'Blade Runner' with disco rhythms”. 

Of their evocative band name he adds, “The name Red Telephone was influenced by a song of the same name by ‘Love’, on their album ‘Forever Changes’, as well as the dystopian imagery of the infamous Cold War hotline.”
